test succeeded but... (ITS#320)

Hello, I'm installing OpenLdap in a RedHat 5.2:
I've done all configuration, dependencies and make, I try the tests and
all tests succeeded. than I've done make install and ldap was installed
in the right dir and was all correct.
I start slapd and seems all correct but if I try to search something
with ldapsearch it always says: No such object!
I tried also to do so with the test configuration files and the
test.ldif file, the ldif2ldbm make its work, ldapsearch can connect and
bind with the server but I don't have the results. Why? What is my
fault?
I hope this is the right address, I've found in the readme file.
Thanks if you can help me,
